I am not sure weather they have changed the gearing ratios, but IMO, this could be mostly due to slightly higher gearing.

1)
Glad to know that the Hyundai claimed " MDPS ' is better than the artificial feeling Maruti EPS.

2)
Comparing this car with Swift is somewhat too high for this car, IMHO. Swift has a bigger and more powerful engine and has got very short storke. So in higher rpm range, Swift will be better.

However how was the city driving comparison between the i10 1.2 and Swift petrol ?
